Nani: I'll fight for United future

Manchester United star Nani has revealed his desire to stay and fight for his place after appearing to be on his way out of Old Trafford.
Nani, 23, was frozen out by Sir Alex Ferguson last November after publicly criticising the United boss for failing to give him enough first-team action.
The Portugal winger, who joined United for £17million from Sporting Lisbon in 2007, was handed a rare start against Hull last weekend and dazzled in the 4-0 win.
And now Nani - expected to start in tonight's Carling Cup semi-final showdown against Manchester City has revealed his hunger to prove he has a long-term future at Old Trafford.
"My future is at Manchester United," said Nani, who has made just seven Premier League starts this season, proof of his periphery status.
"I've heard all the rumours, but my mission is to stay and help the club win more titles.
"I played a good game against Hull City. That's my challenge, to play more, get more minutes.
"I know what the coach expects from me and I'm trying to always offer my maximum level on the field."
